Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Miked3038! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Anonymous101 (talk) 21:14, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Royal Air Force. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.--ja_62 20:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Please stop continually removing content from both French Air Force and Royal Air Force without explanation. As your removal has been challenged then you should really explain why on the the article talk pages. The information you keep removing is not cited so I have added a citation needed tag, this allows time for other editors to provide a reference. If you keep reverting other editors and removing content you may have your editing rights restricted, so please take care, stop removing content and explain on the talk pages. Thank you.

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at French Air Force, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. David Biddulph (talk) 20:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Royal Air Force. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 20:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing, for a period of 31 hours, for Edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. MilborneOne (talk) 20:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

RAF and French Air Force
Thanks for the message perhaps we can put the incident behind us. Please dont get other editors wrong it is just understanding the way things are done. Also note it doesnt mean that the other editors disagree with you! When you delete something as in your case you know it to be rubbish then you should mention it in your edit summary. This lets others know why you removed it. Two things can happen everybody agrees with you and nothing is said or done or somebody disagrees with you and reverts your change. What you should do is then make a comment on the talk page saying this is rubbish it should be removed. Other editors can then discuss with you and come to some agreement. In fact if nobody else comments it can be taken that you have provided a good enough reason and after a couple of days (a week is better) you can delete it again. Wiki has rules about reverting changes and sets limits of no more than three reverts in 24-hours. This is to stop editors reverting each other multiple times as after a couple of challenges it should be discussed. I did tag the sentence with a label that says this needs to be referenced, this gives other editors time to find a reference or in time it will just get deleted. It is complicated to new users because we have so many rules but they are meant to protect the encyclopedia from damage. As I said if you explain what the logic of why it should be removed on the talk page this would enable it to be discussed. If you have any other questions then please ask. Thanks.
